All about Cookies

What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a piece of information that a website transfers to an appropriate file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. Cookies can help a website to arrange its content to match your preferred interests more quickly - most major websites use cookies. Please note that Cookies alone cannot be used to identify you. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come; the “lifetime” of the cookie; and an identification indicator, usually a unique random number. Two types of cookies are used on many websites including ours:
1. Session Cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave our site, when they are deleted automatically. They allow you to carry information across pages of the site and avoid having to re-enter information.
2. Persistent Cookies, remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer - though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie and you can often specify their lifetime from within your browser. They are used to:
• Help us recognise you as a unique visitor by using a unique number when you return to the website.
• Allow us to tailor content or advertisements to match your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same adverts repeatedly.
• Compile anonymous statistics that allow us to understand how users use our site and to help us improve the structure of our website.

Note: you cannot be identified personally when you return to our website.

Web Beacons
Some of our Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web Beacons that allow us to count users who have visited these pages.

We may also carry Web Beacons placed by third party advertisers. These Beacons do not carry any personally identifiable information and are only used to track the effectiveness of a particular campaign.
